Your solicitor being on a Virgin Money conveyancing panel is duty bound to advise Virgin Money of any amendments to the sale price.

How does conveyancing in Thames Ditton differ for newly converted properties?
Most buyers of new build residence in Thames Ditton approach us having been asked by the builder to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the property is built. This is because new home sellers in Thames Ditton typically buy the land, plan the estate and want to get the plots sold off as they are building the properties. Buyers, therefore, will have to exchange contracts without actually seeing the house they are buying. To reduce the chances of losing the property, buyers should instruct conveyancing solicitors as soon as the property is reserved and mortgage applications should be submitted quickly. Due to the fact that it could be several months and even years between exchange of contracts and completion, the mortgage offer may need to be extended. It would be wise to use a lawyer who specialises in new build conveyancing especially if they are used to new build conveyancing in Thames Ditton or who has acted in the same development.

We are midway through buying a property in Thames Ditton. Conveyancing solicitor has phoned to say the property is "Leasehold". Should this impact the marketability of the property?
Thames Ditton conveyancing does not usually involve leasehold houses. The crucial factor here is the unexpired lease term and the ground rent. If it's 999 years with a peppercorn rent, it's virtually freehold, so it’s unlikely to affect the marketability significantly.
At the other end of the spectrum, if it's, say, fifty five years it is bound to have a adverse effect on the value, and probably wouldn't be acceptable to the mortgage company. The remaining lease term and ground rent will be stated in the lease which should be made available to your conveyancer.
